59.Tospreadlove,inspirechangeandraiseawarenessofsocialissues.

60.Heisamanwithapositiveattitude.BecauseheattendedtheBostonMarathoninhisownwayinsteadofgivingup.这是一篇记叙文。记叙了因为没有参赛资格的KenNwadike通过给路过的选手们拥抱和微笑，来表示鼓励和支持。他的免费拥抱活动广受赞誉，取得了巨大的成功。也启示我们当生活出了问题，我们需要深呼吸，判断形势，找到一个积极的方向。【56题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Well,themaninquestionwas23secondsshortofthequalifyingtimeheneededinordertoenterthemarathon.（嗯，这个选手比参加马拉松比赛所需的排位赛时间少了23秒）可知这名男子一开始无法参加波士顿马拉松比赛，因为他没有参加马拉松比赛的资格。故答“Becausehedidn’tqualifyforthemarathon.”。【57题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中Hemadea“FreeHugs”sign,andwiththathadacameraonatripod,hegaveouthugsandsmilestotherunnersthatpassedhimby,hiswayofencouragingandsupportingthem.（他做了一个“免费拥抱”的标志，在三脚架上放了一个照相机，他向从他身边跑过的人发出拥抱和微笑，这是他鼓励和支持他们的方式）可知在波士顿马拉松比赛中，KenNwadike给了路过的选手们拥抱和微笑。故答“Hegavehugsandsmilestothepassingrunners.”。【58题详解】词义猜测题。根据下文Hiscampaign,whichquicklybecameahugesuccess,gotthewidespreadcompliments.可知他的活动很快取得了巨大的成功，受到了广泛的赞扬。可知Ken的免费拥抱活动广受赞誉，故划线单词意思“被称赞的”。故答“Praised./Complimented.”。【59题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中…themissionoftheFreeHugsProjectistospreadlove,inspirechangeandraiseawarenessofsocialissues.（免费拥抱项目的使命是传播爱，激发改变，提高社会问题的意识）可知KenNwadike的免费拥抱活动的目的是传播爱，激发改变，提高人们对社会问题的认识。故答“Tospreadlove,inspirechangeandraiseawarenessofsocialissues.”。【60题详解】本题为开放性题目，言之有理即可。可以回答他是一个态度积极的人。因为他没有放弃，而是以自己的方式参加了波士顿马拉松。故答“Heisamanwithapositiveattitude.BecauseheattendedtheBostonMarathoninhisownwayinsteadofgivingup.”。三、阅读理解19.Whatwouldtheholidaysbewithoutlotsoftinytwinklinglights?Lesscolor1fulandfestive—butalsoalotsafer.Fromlivingroomstofrontporchesacrossthecountry,homeownersarestringingmillionsoflightsonChristmastreesoreavesanddecoratingtheirwindowsillswithelectric,battery-operatedortraditionalcandles.ButaccordingtothefederalConsumerProductSafetyCommission,toomanyaredoingsowithlittleregardtothehazards（危险）.Lastholidayseasontherewereabout200ChristmastreefiresinAmericanhomes,resultingin10deathsandmorethan$10millioninpropertyloss,theCommissionsays.Another14,000housefiresarestartedyearlybymisplacedormishandledcandles,causing170deathsand$350millioninpropertyloss.Andabout10,000peoplearetreatedatemergencyroomsforinjuriesfromfalls,cutsorshockswhilehanginglightsordecorations.Thebiggestcausesofholidayfiresare“candlesandlivetrees”,saidKimDulic,aCommissionspokeswoman.Theagencyrecommendsbattery-operatedcandlesinsteadofrealorelectric,shesaid,alongwithfire-resistantartificialtrees—orfresh,well-wateredtrees.Acuttreeisfresh,shesaid,ifthebottomofitstrunkisstickywithresin（树脂）anditsneedlesarehardtopullanddon’tbreakwhenbent.Itistoodryifitshedsashowerofneedleswhenbouncedontheground.Aharvestedtreeshouldbecutaboutahalfinchfromthebottomandputinwaterwithinnomorethanthreetosixhours,saidRickDungey,thepublicrelationsmanageroftheNationalChristmasTreeAssociation,inChesterfield,Mo.“Ifyouwaitanylonger,airmoleculesgetinthetrunkandtheypreventthetreefromabsorbingwater,”Mr.Dungeysaid,addingthatpeopleshouldwateroftenandneverletthewatergobelowthecutend.OnceaChristmastreedriesout,itisanaccidentwaitingtohappen,saidLorraineCarli,thecommunicationsvicepresidentoftheNationalFireProtectionAssociation,inQuincy,Mass.Ifcatchingfire,thetreecanbeengulfedinseconds.Themostcommoncauseiselectrical—eitheranoverusedelectricalsystemorfaultywiring.BrettBrenner,thepresidentoftheElectricalSafetyFoundationInternational(ESFI),inRosslyn,Va.,saidhomeownersshouldmakeyearlyinspections.“Crackedsockets（插座）,frayedorbarewiresandlooseconnectionscancauseaseriousshockorstartafire,”hesaid.Usenomorethanoneextensioncordpersocket,andstringnomorethanthreesetsoflightstogether.Wiresshouldnotrunundercarpetsorthroughwindowsordoors.Hesaidoutdooroutletsshouldbeprotectedbyagroundfaultcircuitinterrupter—abreakerthattripswithanyinterruptionorproblemwiththegroundwire.(Aninterrupterusuallyneedstobeinstalledwhenanoutletisnearorexposedtowater;itgenerallycostslessthan$10.)JohnDrengenberg,theconsumeraffairsdirectorofUnderwritersLaboratories,thetestinggroupinNorthbrook,III.,s
